Actually kabutops is in PU. Literally the bottom of the barrel. It’s not even ranked in smogon ou viability ranking. Mega swampert sits at a solid B+ rank right now.

If people were even choosing to use a pu pokemon in ou, that means the player is likely a deliberate choice of using a worse Pokémon because they can.

The only thing I can see it has over mega swampert is a better speed. But at those high numbers in the rain, it is still pretty similiar to not justify. Also not taking up a mega slot.

I don’t know where you got the info that kabutops is more used than mega swampert but clearly it’s not very accurate.

If kabutops is what you prefer for whatever reason then your choice but I’m gonna go for mega swampert
